Ah! Now this is an interpretation I can get behind as genuinely embodying her character and allowing her to be more herself. I still have misgivings (obviously, given my endless mumbling) but that really works and wasn't how I saw it before…

When involved in actual discussions, I often write walls of text saying the same thing ten times in just one comment…so I can't really blame you for not seeing it all. Kind of my own fault, really…

I think I already addressed that suggestion here elsewhere…but it really wouldn't matter anyway. On top of me wondering, "Should we really reenforce the notion that men and women can't be platonic friends by attempting to stress how they're really, really platonic when there's no immediate implication otherwise?"…or…

I guess that, in a more specific sense, what I'm referring to is how shoehorned in it seemed to appear two or three times in various situations because it would often be during scenes where they clearly had a "mission" or other vitally-important things were going on (and this was almost treated as a joke in the film…

Possibly but what does it say about society that you can't just have two close coworkers of "opposite genders" without people assuming they have some romantic intentions involving each other? Should media really be playing into that suggestion? That's something I question. But yes, that's there, too. For instance,…

So can I. I was developing a narrative recently with a female lead and was looking for some similar female archetypes (to sort of clarify my mental picture) in media and was…pretty much at a loss. I could find some relative ones in the real world but I was looking at pop media and was just tremendously disappointed…

Marvel's doing miles better than DC and even Marvel is…not doing that great. I was kind of annoyed at how Black Widow's actual dialogue with Steve Rogers in CA2 was full of her trying to set him up with someone as though, because she's a woman, she must be concerned about his personal life and finding him someone to…

Not to derail things but the fact that they couldn't manage something halfway decent in live-action film or television (in the past few decades) with at least Wonder Woman by now (And, Hell, why don't we have a Zatanna movie or something already? Wouldn't be that difficult…) is ridiculous and shows how out of touch…

Right. Agreed, essentially. I just always try to give someone the benefit of a doubt (because I find it awful when people are unfairly judged) and the smaller and smaller it gets, the more I go, "Well…is there any possible way they aren't quite as big of an @$$hole as they seem?" In this case, even my best efforts…

I think, in his cynical and backwards way, he was trying to critique the basis for a lot of the male-dominated decision-making which went into comic books long ago…but he just failed really hard in expressing it in a manner which didn't make him seem like one of those people who makes such decisions? Probably because…

Wait. What makes that any different from most cars?

I thought that was the whole reason we were doing this. If it's not, what's even the point of going on living anymore?

I heard the exact opposite of that. He disliked the time it took for makeup and the like when he originally played the role leading to him barely given a hint of being asked back for DoFP despite indicating that he was open to it, particularly given the faster/easier makeup techniques used these days.

The two mistakes I feel that I see them make the most often are actually near-opposites. They typically overstress their syllables and consonants or they just drawl everything into nonsense. Sometimes, they somehow manage both…

No, no. Say it with your Alabama accent. "Sheddafuggub!"

That's Photoshopped?! I thought it was a worldwide exclusive photo!

But only so you know that I will not continue to support this franchise!

Well, I don't have sex in our society. Or I don't think I do. Wait, what society is this again?

Well, that says it all. If you're a supporter of Episode VII even now that Wedge won't be back then you're not a real fan anyway. Because anyone that doesn't agree with me on every aspect of the franchise isn't a real fan.

You just wait until there's further breaking news which is discouraging to most fans! I'll be right here, demanding recognition because "I TOLD YOU SO!" I'm not sure what it is that I told you but I'm pretty sure that it was me who said it.
